VFF, Chinese people’s Political Consultative Conference boost ties

Hanoi (VNA) – The Chinese People’s
Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) is willing to share its experience
with the Vietnam Fatherland Front, as the two organisations have similar
functions and tasks, thus tightening the relationship between the two
countries, a senior Chinese official has said.

Visiting CPPCC Vice Chairman Wan Gang made the
affirmation at a meeting with President of the Vietnam Fatherland Front (VFF)
Central Committee Nguyen Thien Nhan in Hanoi on December 4.

Wan Gang expressed the hope that the two sides can
push links, especially exchanges between scientists and cooperation in
fostering creativeness and start-ups.

VFF Central Committee President Nguyen Thien Nhan
affirmed the Vietnamese Party, State, and the VFF treasure cooperation and
friendship with their Chinese counterparts, adding that along with economic
ties, the two countries should step up people-to-people exchange and
cooperation in other fields.

He also suggested stronger exchange between
residents in the two nations’ border localities, especially youths.

Nguyen Thien Nhan hoped the Chinese side will
share experience in fighting corruption, and in organising movements to promote
creativeness and startup spirit among young people.

Previously, Vice President and General Secretary
of the VFF Tran Thanh Man held talks with CPPCC Vice Chairman Wan Gang, during
which the two sides discussed the organisation of friendship exchanges between
Vietnamese localities’ VFF chapters with China, which will be chaired by the
VFF and the CPPCC.

They stressed the need to work closer and further
promote the role played by the two organisations in enhancing connectivity in
economy, culture, education, sci-technology between Vietnam and China,
and expand friendship exchanges between their chapters at different levels,
towards fostering the two countries' cooperation in a more practical manner and
the prompt settlement of issues existing in bilateral ties.-VNA
